Lockie Leonard - Series One - Barry Goes Pop

Lockie Leonard, hot surf rat, is twelve and three quarters years old. Lockie and his family have just moved to the most remote town on earth, Angelus. For Lockie this is a disaster: no friends, new school and a house that is truly in danger of disappearing into a swamp. Then Lockie spots the one thing that makes it all okay. This weird little town has the best surf he has ever seen. Not that this necessarily helps him survive his frighteningly understanding parents, his father's job as the local police sergeant, a little brother who can't stop wetting the bed, a new friend 'Egg' who is a heavy metal devotee and the attentions of the cutest girl in school, Vicki Streeton. It can only mean worry, embarrassment, wild times and lots of weirdness. Nan and Pop arrive to help out the Leonards, but with Nan's cooking filling the family's stomachs with stinky hot gas and Pop's dangerous driving, the grandparents are more of a hindrance. Meanwhile, Mr Streeton is blowing a lot of hot air about the place too, on the campaign trail to be re-elected as mayor. Vicki preferred things they way they were, before he donned the mayoral robes, back when he used to be home for dinner. But with no one standing against him, what can you do? Find someone to stand against him, perhaps? But who?
